Mechanical Monowheel
Assemble and Propel Your Own Monowheel!
Today we proudly present the all wooden Mechanical Monowheel, here to roll into your wooden model kits collection!
With no armor shell included – this model is built in skeleton steampunk style, which means you can see and enjoy the beauty of moving gears. Despite its airy delicate appearance, it is quite sturdy – you can take it outside and give it a good roll around on the pavement and other hard and semi-hard surfaces.
The parts of the mechanism imitate a real steam engine and the lack of an outer shell grants easy access to rubber bands should you need to replace them.
With two working modes to guarantee even more fun! Mode 1 with the feet locked will give you uninterrupted rolling straight ahead for about 1.5 – 2 meters until the rubber-band motor’s resource is completely released. After that the model gracefully turns around and stops.
The second mode with the feet in the unlocked position allows it to roll ahead while the rubber-band motor is working. After that it turns around, its feet hide inside and the model keeps rolling until it runs into an obstacle. In this mode, it can cover up to 5 meters.
Definitely a model we recommend to get started on!
